An aging unit refurbished by AirGreen
At AirGreen , we recently received an HVAC service call for a Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioner repair in a charming residence in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal . The customer reported that their unit, installed for over ten years, was no longer producing cold air, was emitting a slight humming noise, and seemed to be suffering from a gradual loss of efficiency.
Initial inspection and complete diagnosis
Upon our arrival, our technicians noticed that the wall-mounted unit showed signs of advanced wear : slightly obstructed air blades, a cover weakened by time, and a layer of dust accumulated inside the exchanger.
Using an infrared thermometer , we found an air outlet temperature of 19°C , well above the expected standard of 7-9°C for a working air conditioner.
The diagnosis was based on the following points:
-
Very dirty air filters , blocking airflow.
-
Clogged evaporator , reducing heat exchange.
-
Interior fan partially blocked by dust.
-
Refrigerant pressure below normal values, suggesting a microleak in the circuit .
-
Control board still functional, which ruled out an electronic problem.
Repair and upgrade steps
Our team has undertaken a complete, step-by-step recommissioning :
-
Complete cleaning of the indoor unit with a biodegradable product specific to residential HVAC systems.
-
Partial disassembly of the crankcase to access the evaporator and remove dust and grease deposits.
-
Checking the refrigeration circuit using an electronic detector: identification of a micro-leak on the flare connection on the outdoor unit side.
-
Tightened the fitting and tested for leaks with nitrogen for 45 minutes, with no leaks detected.
-
Recharge with R410A refrigerant according to Fujitsu specifications.
-
Final performance test : outlet air temperature stabilized at 7.4°C , confirming return to optimal performance.
Results and recommendations to the client
Thanks to this intervention, the Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioner regained its full efficiency. The customer immediately noticed an improvement in comfort and a reduction in ambient noise.
We provided him with a detailed maintenance report , along with specific recommendations for extending the life of his device:
-
Clean filters every 4 to 6 weeks.
-
Inspection of the condensate drainage system to prevent overflows.
-
Annual preventative maintenance including refrigerant check and coil cleaning.
-
Preventive replacement of the starting capacitor in 1 to 2 years, taking into account the age of the system.
